Remington Model 1875 replica made by Uberti

[@SHTFDAN-q6x]

Excellent post Matt, thank you for sharing.

[@j.d.peppmeier9041]

I am a proud owner of two Uberti 1875 Remingtons. Frank James carried an 1875 Remington.

Don't we all!

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

One trick I had hear long ago was to carefully rotate your cylinder and drop your hammer 'between" the rims of your cartridges, being able to load all six, as when the revolver is set in the holster the cylinder won't turn unless you manually turn it. Some folk would even cut/file a tiny notch in a case rim and set it so the firing pin would be guaranteed to set down inside that space between the cartridge rims. Good way to carry all six without relying on the hammer notch or resting on a primer.

[@RooftopKY]

Makes sense. That's how I load and carry my black powder pistols. I'll give it a shot. Thanks..

[@Asko83]

That trick is possible with the Remington New Model Army, cap and ball revolver. Which specifically had notches between the chambers for the ease of doing this. Not sure if it is possible with the cartridge revolver.

[@bobsradio6025]

@@Asko83 My copies of the Colt 1851, 1860 & 1861 black powder revolvers is what gave me the idea of placing the firing pin between rims in my Colt 1873 SAA. I have read that this is not safe, but I don't know why.

[@harley36592]

Just bought the same revolver a couple of weeks ago love it so far.

[@bobsradio6025]

Back in the days when .45 Long Colt factory ammo was made to be safe in older cast iron guns, I found that black powder handloads were much more powerful. The BP handloads made more noise, had more recoil and sent up a cloud of smoke. I have an Italian copy of the 1873 Colt SAA, and prefer it to the Remington.

[@PhantomX889]

Good video. Thinking of getting one of these. I like the look more than the saa

[@bobsradio6025]

The quarter cock notch is considered a safety notch because it is deeper and the trigger goes into it farther, but I have heard of cases where a trigger pulled hard enough will break the notch and fire the gun.

[@Matzah1982]

I bought me over 2 months ago an Uberti 1858 Remington style new model army .44 caliber percussion revolver and a Howell fluted .45 colt cartridge conversion cylinder for it and I made an unboxing video when I received them both on the same day and posted it on my channel plus when I fired it the first time nearly a month ago I made a video of it and posted it on my channel. I shoot HSM .45 colt 200 grain smokeless cowboy loads. I scored me a couple of boxes of them at the Cabela’s outlet in Hamburg PA. at the end of August

[@adamm1998]

I put a book of matches between hammer and primer. Lay the hammer down carefully but firmly. When I draw, tip the gun sideways as I pull the hammer back. Match book falls out, gun is ready to go. An old man truck I was taught to safely load 6

[@ShredderSensei]

Excellent video. Learned a lot

[@andreasr6632]

I wish they made the 1875 with the octagonal barrel of the 1858.

[@troyheffernan1261]

Keep your finger off the trigger and the hammer won't hit the primer. Cocked or otherwise. I carry mine fully loaded and it's never dry fired on its own. Thanks for the video.

[@hamidzareh2373]

Very beautiful

[@VicariousReality7]

Seems like a fine choice, though i would go for longevity with stainless

[@RooftopKY]

Not sure if it's even offered in stainless, especially for what gave for it.

[@CatManDoom84]

I bought mine prolly 4 years ago. Love it, havent shot it much though. This is the only single action i own, but i have a question: Is the trigger pull supposed to be so hard? Like i really have to put pressure on it.Is this normal for guns of this type?EDIT: i posted this comment before seeing your trigger footage, but still. You said maybe 2lb pull but mine is like wobbling cause i have to pull so hard. i dunno, i have smaller hands, ur hand make this gun look small compared to when im holding it haha

[@aminokhankhan1749]

Sar mujhe bhi chahiye kaha milegi

[@leo2742]

Don't get it mine broke the 2nd time I took it to the range, the ejecting probe snapped off completely. Very displeased.

[@RooftopKY]

I've shot mine a lot. No issues.

[@schl0tte]

A masterpiece Did you know Umberti is owned by Bud Spencer?

[@johnwilliams640]

Beautiful pistol

[@deniscleaver7544]

That is sure one good looking Rem. 1875. Are you sure the metal is not stainless instead of nickel? Very nice.

[@linguisticman]

@ Denis Cleaver I'm pretty sure it's nickel. I have one, and it's nickel. To get stainless you have to get the 1873 Cattleman model.

[@ramonedetroitguam6075]

one click back never dropped on me...

[@RooftopKY]

Good to know. I've never seen one do it, but when you look inside, that first notch on the hammer doesn't look that stout.

[@calebmacmoyer4450]

I believe Frank James used one of these.

[@RooftopKY]

That's the story. I can see why he liked it.

[@orckiller91]

He also used a s&w schofield if i recall

[@Airsoft_Cowboy]

I know it's 2 years late but Uberti does have a frank James model that has ivory style grips and a ring under the grip.

[@linguisticman]

@@Airsoft_Cowboy Yes I have my eye on that one, but if I bought every gun I liked...I'd be broke. Ha.

[@scotttinsley1993]

He did . Two he bought in 1875 . Both in 44-40 . Before colt put it in there frontier six shooter.

[@ctripps1224]

How much you spend on it, if I may ask?

[@RooftopKY]

I got it used with 100 rounds of ammo for $450

[@ctripps1224]

@@RooftopKY nice deal the ammo alone is probably worth 50 or 60

[@sergiovaldes1420]

Para mi los remingtons son revolveres muy masculinos👍

[@smartmeis]

Theres a floating hammer pin. Its safe with 6

[@RooftopKY]

Not on this one. I can't speak for the newer ones made after 2017, but the old ones have a fixed pin.

[@smartmeis]

@@RooftopKY thats even better, no communist safety crap, just found out after 2016 they started adding em. Thought they were all like that. Mine only rest on the primer if the trigger is engaged.

[@RooftopKY]

If you can find a pre-2016-17 pistol, I recommend it. If you can only get the new stuff, stick to the black powder frame series like the 7th Cav or the Artillery Model. Those still use the old style fixed pin hammers. If you already have the floating pin hammer, Taylors sells a conversion hammer kit to make yours have a fixed pin. Most people probability don't care. I do because the originals didn't have safety pins or transfer bars on them. That, and I like 4 clicks.

[@smartmeis]

@@RooftopKY yeah I'd like it to be as historically correct as I can get it and have the 4 clicks as well, I was looking for a used uberti cattleman but new is just easier. Thanks I'll check it out.

YOU: “Oh, I just shot my neighbor.” ME: “NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER point a firearm in an unsafe direction! In the range, keep the weapon aimed up and down range at all times and don’t handle the weapons while someone is down range with targets!” 1-Always assume the gun is loaded and treat it as such. 2-Never point the weapon at anything/anyone you don’t want to destroy. 3-Keep you finger off the trigger/out of trigger well until ready to pull the trigger. 4-be sure of your target, and what is behind it before shooting. If you aren’t aiming the firearm where it shouldn’t be aimed, even with a negligent discharge there is no chance of accidentally shooting someone....

[@mocker56789]

Calm the fuck down

[@bobsradio6025]

Before I knew anything about guns, I learned that the Golden Rule sates that we should treat others like we would like to be treated ourselves. The Golden Rule was given by Christ Himself, and it makes it clear that everything you just said to be TRUE.

Nickel doesn't age well. Use it lightly.
